Grille for a radio controlled vechicle

ABSTRACT

A grille for a radio controlled vehicle includes: a plurality of horizontal bars, a plurality of vertical bars, connecting at intersections within a perimeter forming a grid pattern, configured to mount in the front of a radio controlled vehicles body, allowing air to pass through for cooling of the radio controlled vehicles components, such as the engine and electronics.

BACKGROUND

In the art, currently there are two options for cooling a radio controlled vehicles components. One option is to cut a hole in windshield area of a radio controlled vehicles body, wherein allowing air to pass through cooling of the radio controlled vehicles components, such as engine and electronics. The second option is operate the radio controlled vehicle without a body.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention when installed in an opening in the front of a radio controlled vehicles body, wherein allowing air to pass through for cooling the radio controlled vehicles components, such as engine and electronics. One preferred embodiment of the invention, a grille for a radio controlled vehicle, comprising: a plurality of horizontal bars, a plurality of vertical bars, connected at intersections within a perimeter to form a grid shape. Having fastening tabs outside of the perimeter at each end.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, the use of “a”, “an”, or “the” can refer to the plural. All examples giving are for clarification only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the grille 2 for radio controlled vehicle comprising a plurality of horizontal bars 6, a plurality of vertical bars 8. Connecting at intersections within a perimeter 10 with fastening tabs 4 at each end.

Referring to FIG. 2, which shows top view of grilles perimeter 10 attached to the fastening tabs 4, FIG. 2 also shows the grille 2 has a radius.

Referring to FIG. 3, which shows a perspective view of the radio controlled vehicles body 12, with a hole cutout 14, and its location within the radio controlled vehicles body 12, for cooling of the radio controlled vehicle components, such as engine and electronics. Also referring to FIG. 3, hobbyist using scissors or knife would cut a hole (showing by dotted line) in the radio controlled vehicles body 12.

Referring to FIG. 4, shows the grille 2 mounted in the front of the radio controlled vehicles body, fastening tabs 4 (outlined with dotted lines) are behind the radio controlled vehicles body.

Referring to FIG. 5, the grille 2 is preferably between approximately 1 to 2 inches in height, and between approximately 3 to 6 inches in width. The grille may comprise of any material, such as plastic, metal, aluminum, stainless steel. The grille 2 could be straight or radius. The grille 2 could be any shape, such as square, rectangle, oval, round.
